and you're right. when they had to wear cone, they were violently trying to get rid of the cone and after failing to do so, they went and sulk at a corner.

Guys just out of curiosity, what wet food do you feed your little ones?
I give her Sheba or Fancy Feast Royale.
I noticed that Sheba has got a lot of gel (I believe this is starch), but not as much as Royale. Nowadays I remove all the gel and starchy content before feeding her.

What about you guys? Any particular brands? Or home made meals are the best? Boiled chicken/ fish?

Thanks.

Hmm my cat loves those gel and starchy things lol
sometimes she would just lick that and leave the fish meat -__-

Ive preferred fussy cats for a long time now...it seems to have alot of fish meat in it.

But wouldn't that make them fat?

I really hope my cat gets fat T_T
but shes a picky eater..her fur makes her look big..but body small.

i just give whiskas junior. i know supermarket brands are normally frown upon but my cats just loves em and they seem alright after feeding them for months already.

interesting, my experience with a few of them is that they'll try to take them off. nope, not holding tight but the looser it is, the faster it'll come off.

My cat will eat anything wan
Small insets she'll jump, somersault, ninja attack and catch then the tepuk2 with her paws, play2 then finally put in her mouth

Once she did that with a small cicak, from the kitchen she carried to my room and put in front of me, it was still alive, perfectly healthy. Luckily I managed to catch the cicak and throw outside before she made it her dinner lol

I'm using either Addiction/Evo/Wellness Core depending on stock availability. I'd recommend u avoid products like Sheba or the likes as their wet products contain mainly of by-product and only a small percentage of real meat.

That's why I'm looking for alternatives, besides the fact that the starch/ gel is about 30% of the content

You know the best is actually...buy a steamer...buy those cheap ikan at pasar...the ikan bilis type..or whatever ikan for cheap.

10 times better then any can food..steaming is important to get rid of bacteria and stuff la.

I would do this...but damn cat too fussy

Done that once or twice, but scared cannot simpan lama as I give my cat wet food once every 2-3 days only.

As long as it doesn't caught in the mouth, it should be ok. I mean if it loose enough for it to take off on their own.

The supermarket brand wet food should be ok as long as it contains real meat. I feed Friskies wet food to my cats for years. I also sometime feed ProDiet wet food to my cats.

Is it okay to give wet food daily (small portion,quarter of a can) and supplement with kibbles?
My cat is very fussy when it comes to food. She wont eat fish. Only eat chicken.

Yes, it is ok.

lol my kitten does the same and its adorable ... except the bringing in the live cicak.
once she brought in a maggi mee wrapper and gave me the proud look like she scored a big kill rofl

It's part of her exercise. Sometimes I lose track of the small flying pests but she'll pay 100% focus, no rest till she gets it! lol

Mine does quite a lot, tgh malam bila tidur she'll bring in telco bill, electric bill, sometimes medicine and put next to me macam she did something really good

you can steam and then repack into smaller packed into one serving size in a plastic bag and throw it into freezer.
each time you want to feed, just take one out from the freezer and thaw overnight in the chiller.

as long as it's frozen, cam lama lama simpan

by the way, do any of the cat papa & mama gives fruits to your furry kids?
mine addicted to Papaya!

My girls have been on Wellness CORE for two months now. I tend to change the flavors up within a brand, but I don't often change brands.

I don't recommend fish, particularly ones you cooked yourself.

Is there a particular reason why you like the fish meat for your cat? I've never preferred fish mainly due to the mercury content. I do give them tuna and salmon treats, but they're treats, not part of their regular meals.

(Boiled) Fish mixed with rice is regular meal for cats in Malaysia. This what folks at kampung feed their cats since I can remember. I don't remember any of the cats got sick or malnutrition. Then again these are outdoor cats that also hunt & eat small rodents like mouse. So malnutrition is not an issue.

Anyway, basically it's like a custom or tradition for us to feed fish to our cats. Nowadays, many people like to feed their cat with commercial pet food but then again many of cat food in Malaysia contain fish.

My oldest cats grow up with tuna & sardine (canned pet food) mixed with kibbles & they turn out great. Nowadays, I try my best to reduced the amount of tuna I feed to my cats. However I live in small town, not many choice of wet food that doesn't contain fish. Actually no choice at all.
